Thanks for nice information
Just got out of a cast with a broken bone at the base of my thumb. I have arthritis so keeping the hand still for so long the arthritis has creeped around the base of my thumb joint. I feel sharp pains when i accidentally move the wrist without thinking. I am hoping these exercises with help with that. Thanks so much for making this video available as getting into therapy will take a couple of months and by that time it will be a moot point.
How do i get rid of finger swelling?

Wow, I am so glad I have found you on here. To see you actually doing the exercises does make it easier to feel that I'm slowly improving. I broke the radius (fragments of radius)and the ulna of my right wrist, falling off a horse. Cast off two weeks now. No exercises from hospital, just a referral for physio. First appt not for a few weeks yet, so instead I have a wonderful osteopath who is treating me along with sciatica. He's the only therapist that has almost got rid of 30 years worth of sciatica, hence my faith in him. I think following your video's and his treatment will be the answer. I err expect , hope, pray I can ride in another 4 wks from now ! 😉
I just had my cast removed today. I don't really want to go to physio due to lack of time. Thanks God I found your channel. I will be following what you taught in your videos to recover from distal radius fracture. Thank you so much.
I think these exercises are great. I had a distal fracture at the end of last year which is bad enough, but even worse because I play piano. When I had a cast on I found quite a lot of piano pieces for left hand only since I broke my right wrist. Now three months after the cast coming off and doing your exercises my fingers are much less stiff and I am playing piano with both hands again, although some positions on the piano are a bit painful. I´d like like to thank you for the exercises and say it´s great of you to help so many people.
Love your work

Thank you so much . Cast off this afternoon . Quite painful at present but I will persist with the exercises. Thank you for your advice and encouragement.
Hello Michelle. Thank you for your accompaniment in rehab. You have the ability to show the effort we go throuh and take the time to do it ataour pace. This is why I find your longer videos more useful than those in which the number of exercises is suggested. We cannot trick you while your are there! :)
This was so helpful- my cast was removed a few days ago and I'm surprised at just how stiff and sore my hand and fingers are - swollen and inflamed. However after trying these gentle exercises I see that there is hope on the horizon - thank you.
Dear Michelle Thank you so much! I really felt this and am sure it will,all get easier…. I am day 2 out of my cast and keen to do all the right things to help get going again. I am 62 a swimmer, cyclist and fast walker and have really felt the loss of my mobility- but this first video I’ve watched is fantastic, easy to follow and I’ll be doing my daily exercises religiously with the video. Fiona Kim,,Lincolnshire UK

Thank you for your valuable information.so useful exercises.
My index finger only touches my thumb.remaining fingers,I feel pain mam
Excellent, gentle instruction for my (dominant hand) radius fracture, five days after cast removal, and CRPS-2 diagnosis. In combination with my prescribed PT and OT, I am hoping that early exercise post-injury will lead to preventing type 1 CRPS. Subscribed to your page so I'll keep up with this daily!
thank you so much for these informational videos! I am a barber who is currently doing PT
Your awesome thanks
Great exercise here. I am enjoying the exercises even though I am in pain sometimes. It's going to stick here . Thank you so much.
The two videos that I saw were extremely helpful and very much appreciated. Thank you very very much. Regina Rysdyk
thanks from Croatia !
Thank you for your videos. I’m recovering from a broken wrist and they have been and are so valuable!!
So glad they are helpful!
I have hypertension n my right hand have become still n loose.
Thank you very much for the exercises
Love this so helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Michelle... Love from Pakistan
Really helped my stiffness at the wrist. Thank you so much.....your exercises are doing wonders ❤😊
You're so welcome!
I noticed a typo in my comment where it said "though my wrist was broken" instead of "thought my wrist was broken." That may have been confusing.
I came back to your video to work on my hand a little more, and wanted to comment on your gentle smile. It's very nice; you are sensitive and empathetic to the hand experience (of course?), even caring for the little pinky! Really, you cover everything!
I'm just using video as a takeoff point now, since I'm fairly healed. Trying not to overdo at the same time. Still kind of sore because I am using my hand too much for texting and stuff and the doctor had told me devices are the worst until it's healed.
The things you say make so much sense. Leaving the fingers relaxed when flexing/extending the wrist, for example. I hope I don't break or sprain my wrist again, but if I do, I know where to go. Wouldn't look any further. - No need to reply again. Hope you have a happy and prosperous New Year. - Happy viewer.
@virtualhandcare Thank you so much for these exercises! I found your channel shortly after getting my cast removed. Since I had one broken wrist and a severe contusion on the other, I have been using this video along with some of your other wrist videos for both wrists, I usually don't notice a difference until a few hours or a day later, but the improvement on both wrists has been significant compared to what I saw without these exercises. Thank you!!!
You're so welcome!
Michelle, thank you for your work! You are a light in a long dark scary tunnel I'm in right now :( but you bring back the will to carry on :). Grace from Brisbane.
You are welcome 🙏 Thank you for your kind words. Sending you continued strength as you heal. 💚
I second that too. It is very very very scary and stressful!!
@@VirtualHandCare Hi That was very good video.
Congratulations on doing great job for people around.
I'm with you there Michelle. I broke my distal radius 12 weeks ago. Feeling very frustrated with my progress, I found this channel and now I have more hope and determination that I will get through this. Noelene from Perth
That 's exactly whwt I feel right now . I just have my cast removed week ago 😊
first couple of days i tried this excercise by using wet cloth, it feels us more comfortable and relax to we can bend enough and enough fastly
Thank you!!
Welcome!
I can’t thank you enough for this and your other videos! I got a plate and screws after a bad fall. My pinky looked like a hammer toe and was incredibly painful and stiff. 10 minutes of your stretches and my hand feels less stiff. I have hope my hand will eventually be restored to full motion!
You are welcome! It definitely takes time and persistence. You've got this!
Great
Thank you so much, Michelle. I broke my wrist 6 weeks ago and just got the cast removed. I found your videos right after the injury and they've been super helpful for working on range of motion and smooth movement. I'm an accordionist so anxious to get back to playing.
How's your wrist now?? I also broke my 4rth metacatpal 5 weeks ago and had my cast removed today!! How much time post the 6 weeks does it takes to get back to normal??
Please make a video for full fist 🤛🏽 exercise after surgery
I sure find your calming voice and gentle exercises to be helpful. My fingers and knuckles are still swollen after removal of my cast yesterday.
Thank you! Each day, week, and month will get better and better.
3 years after breaking my wrist it is very painful .I will start those exercises. Have you any advise Thanks so much
Broke both wrists on July 1st. Plates installed on July 10th. Already switched to removable splints.Stitches removed yesterday. Wear splints while sleeping. Remove splints for wrist exercise. Iwas thinking I could stop the finger exercises as I have full finger motion. Realizing now that continuing the finger exercises will help the wrists. Pushing the exercises to the point of the pain.
Thanks for your excellent video. I broke my forearm I’m February and still trying to get my mobility back. I went to a month of sessions w a physiotherapist but did not start with hand and finger exercises. Your video is so well done. I’m glad I found your videos. Well done!
You are welcome! 🙏I am surprised you did not start with hand or finger exercises. Gotta get those fingers moving!
You are fantastic ☺️
Thank you so much 😀
hi!! im doing this to try to help my wrists due to repetitve stress pain, how often shoukd i do strenthening excersizes for my wrists?
Hi Michelle.... I broke my wrist before Christmas and just had my cast removed. Will be starting physio next week. Found the exercises in this and another of your videos extremely helpful. Swelling has reduced, dexterity has improved and pain is subsidizing. Thank you for posting.
Happy to hear the videos are helping! Sending loads of strength as you continue to heal. 🙏
Thanks. Have broken humerus and hand and forearm seized up. Have upper arm brace. 14weeks on, no operation. Wrist not fully working n I can't make a fist. 1st knuckle to fingertips not bending. Any exercises you can recommend
Draga Michele la mine incai inflamata dupa gips se poate sa fac exercitii?Va multumesc anticipat.
Thankyou so much for your video content, I am a kinesthetic learner so to follow along with you is a godsend. Been learning so much while my wrist was in cast which brightened my spirit. Cast removed 2 weeks, I have distal radius and styloid ulna fracture- I recently experienced pulsing intense pain in wrist in short bursts, is pain a warning I'm overdoing stuff like driving etc. Yes! Never thought I'd be able to drive so soon, although only doing very short journeys.
Mam
My left hand wrist broken and operated with a plate. One week gone and i am with grib band. Doctor advised to do some excercises. But more pain occurs. Your videos are useful.
Can i get my previous normal hand movements?
By doing these execercises?
Subscribed...
Thank you!
Your videos are great but I have destroyed damaged all the tendons in my wrist without fracturing the bone
Thank you for the exercises instruction , my cast just removed a week ago. The fingers are beginning to look alive now, though I still have problem in thumb strength and numbness in little finger but I will follow this channel for more normal hands movement.
You can do it!
Is it normal to not able to do that position where we lift drum bells at gym, after removing the plaster.???
Cz, I am not able to rotate my hand properlt.
This was incredibly helpful. Just removed my splint today from surgery two weeks ago. One day I hope I can lift heavy weights again.
Same girl
I just did these exercises following along after cast removal and I just received my temporary cast after my reduction and my wrist feels so good just doing these ahead of getting my permanent cast. And I am so glad that I'm watching your videos because I will make sure that they place my cast below or at my distal Palmer. I am so glad I found you Michelle! Feeling so much better already ! Michele Mariani🤩
For how many days I have to do this exercises after cast removal?
Thank you so much Michelle for this and your five thumb exercises. I’ve had a wrist fusion and cast off two days ago. I cannot believe how painful thumb is and can’t move it and how stiff and painful my hand is. Can’t do anything with it. But I found your videos which I can follow along with and you explain so clearly. You’re def an Angel and can now see there is hope.
Don’t understand though why hand just goes back to be stiff after exercises. Guess that’s normal, I don’t know.
Thank you so much again,
Ann x😊
You are welcome! The stiffness is likely because of the swelling. Active movement helps. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Michelle
I broke my left wrist dec 13 /21 doctor talked about surgery as an option but i decided not to do it I was in a splint for 2 weeks and 4 weeks in a cast. finally yesterday was removed . I found your channel and I love the way you explain the exercises. I can not do the rotation or circle but i will try them everyday . i will do my best, I have been so sad the last 3 weeks because the casts were so uncomfortable pain in my shoulder and elbow, but now i can extend my arm better, but not straighten it down i feel too much pressure :(
Funny my Dr said same I said no, she was very upset. Looking for a big payday
Thanks for the great video. I felt improvements on the spot.
My issue is that I couldn’t do the wrist forward movement 10:24. The doctor said the bones displaced when I had the cast. And to fix that, I should have a surgery to break the bone and put it back in the right place.
Question: is it OK if I don’t do the surgery, or is it a must.
I cannot provide you medical advice and there is no way for me to know details about your wrist. Follow your doctor's recommendations or seek out another opinion by another doctor.
Does using warm water help ...or should i use cold water ?
After how many months can I lift weights in gym. I had wrist fracture and it's not stiff at all.
Please help with full first exercise... Can't do it... It's 1.6 year post surgery
I'm 52 broke my wrist but bone is healing well. Out of a cast and told to do these exercises now. I still have lots of pain and I figure it will take me longer to heal my tendons and ligaments I stretched. Do I keep pushing myself even though it hurts really bad ? I'm doing my own physical therapy cause I can't afford to go somewhere.
Do you have a video on what exercises to do while IN a cast?
Yes! 👉th-cam.com/video/ce7gfhU21E0/w-d-xo.html
On March 14 exactly 2 months ago I met with an accident which fractured the radius bone of my left hand's wrist. I got my cast removed 10 days ago. I am currently undergoing physiotherapy but my hand still hurts and I avoid lifting anything heavy. Any idea by when my hand will restore its strength and grip completely as it used to have before accident?
Wow, thanks! Had wrist surgery, in Canada, there is no coverage for hands/wrists for anything beyond broken bones, so nobody would tell me any exercises to do after, and things just keep getting worse after the surgery.
Doctors seem to get so mad when we turn to the internets, but I would be lost without this. I can't thank you enough. I am an artist and it is plunging depression not to be able to art since the surgery.
Canada's medical insurance isn't quite as awesome as folk think.
Do these apply to recovering from a sprain as well? I'm doing them gently after getting out of a two,week splint and they seem very useful. Thought my wrist was broken but it wasn't (yay- I guess). You are very pleasant and skilled. Edit: I just saw a typo in my comment where it had "though my wrist was broken" instead of "thought my wrist was broken." That may have been a little confusing.
I came back to your video to work on my hand a little more, and I was going to comment on your gentle smile. It's very nice; you are sensitive to the hand experience, even caring for the little pinky. No need to answer again. Happy New Year.
Thank you! Glad these were helpful!
Very Helpful!However,how many REP & How many times in a day are not mentioned!
Subscribed!
10-15 reps, 2-3 times a day is typical however it’s different for everyone. Thanks for subscribing!🙏
After my cast was removed ive Been doing these exercises for 3 weeks. My thumb ang 2 long fingers can now function properly but my 2 smallest fingers still hurts. Is it normal? How long does the pain go away?
Hi Michelle. I had a an acute, non-displaced, comminuted fracture of the distal radius. I had a cast on for six weeks and it was removed four days ago. While I have been doing a lot of various exercises I find that wrist extension is currently the most challenging for me, and at present I can barely do any extension at all. Is that common and/or to be expected at this point in my recovery, and considering what I have written here about my situation? Would it stand to reason that the actual swelling that is still present in the wrist area, combined with light bruising and some slight abrasion from the tight cast, might also explain this? And then as the swelling reduces, wrist extension should become easier? Note that in combination with the various PT/OT exercises, I am doing a lot of dry skin brushing in the direction towards my heart, and I am also massaging my entire arm, starting from the fingers, up the hand, wrist, forearm and trying to lightly push any fluid up towards the direction of my heart. Thank you!!
It is extremely common to have limited wrist extension, actually all movements will feel restricted at only 4 days after cast removal. The swelling can limit motion too but the active movement can help move the fluid too. Continue to do the exercises and the light massage. Give it time! You've got this!
I have difficulty in kneading dough after 15 days of cast removal of my wrist fracture.
Should I knead a dough or stop ? Pls reply.
I dont feel strength in my hands.
Thank you so so much for these exercises. Cast removed yesterday & I asked about exercises. Was told there are none but just try to lift a plastic cup then once achieved add a little water to cup and lift, then keep adding more water as it becomes easier. I felt that my joints needed some kind of daily movement also when I found your video. Its scary being completely discharged after cast removal with very little advice on getting things moving. You have eased my mind. Thank you! 😊
haii
Is it OK to apply cold compress afterwards?
Yes, usually after exercising cold can feel good!
With my tendon damage never any cast never any fracture can do damage only I am trying to do the finger movements that you're showing and I can get a move in when I'm in my warm Epsom salts after ice But the pain couple hours later it's so intense I got a hunch that the tendon's need more healing
Its 6 month how can the thumb touch the 2nd ring and small fingers
